「国境」 (Kokkyou)
“Border”
Any show that can be this brilliant in successive weeks with such spectacularly different material deserves that little bit of extra recognition.

「希少な種」 (Kishoona Tane)
“A Rare Breed”
I certainly won’t dispute that there are and were plenty of evil aristocrats, but revenge killing viscounts and earls isn’t really a political act.

「不死身の杉元ハラキリショー」 (Fujimi no Sugimoto harakirishou)
“Immortal Sugimoto Harakiri Show”
Among the many labels I could affix to Noda Satoru and Golden Kamuy, “shameless” would certainly be one.

「緋色の瞳 第二幕」 (Hiiro no Hitomi Dainimaku)
“The Scarlet Eyes, Act 2”
There’s a certain irony in the fact that this all starts with an act of noblesse oblige.

「いご草」 (Igogusa)
“Igogusa”
One really does get the sense that Noda has a dossier of these richly detailed backstories for everyone in the series, and can dust one off whenever he feels like it.

「緋色の瞳 第一幕」 (Scarlet Eyes Part 1)
“Hiiro no hitomi daiichimaku”
As premises go, this is one of the more interesting I’ve seen in anime for a long time.

「スチェンカ」 (Stenka)
“Stenka
One thing you discover when writing about Golden Kamuy is that with eps like this one, trying to describe them is an exercise in futility – they just have to be experienced.

「伯爵の犯罪」 (Hakushaku no hanzai)
“The Earl’s Crime”
I see worlds of potential in Moriarty the Patriot.
Ikebukuro West Gate Park – 01

「北口スモークタワー」 (Kitaguchi sumoukutawaa)
“North Exit Smoke Tower”
I’d like to think there was something to this franchise that made it such a hit.

「樺太へ」 (Karafuto e)
“To Sakhalin”
There’s nothing in the world like Golden Kamuy.
